Who is your favorite jazz pianist

With the passing of Oscar Peterson, I thought it would be great to hear some of your favorites. For me no one even came close to Oscar Peterson. He had the speed and agility of Bud and Monk, and the grace of Bill evans and brubeck. He had no equal.

Monk & Evans. Two that don't get enough attention: Willie "the Lion" Smith and Lennie Tristano.

Bobby Timmons, Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, and many others; depending on my mood at that moment, which changes constantly.
